Black Lashes

Black lashes they hide the pain
Tattooed on a red blood stain
Flood gates mind the backwater flow
Nicotine and espresso
Locked in what the ego denies
Quietude and a clever disguise
Mind steady before the quake
Razor blades in the cake

Everywhere you go I go
Looking upon tomorrow
Lined up like a domino
Black lashes in the shadow

You were such a clever kid
Doing better than your parents did
Scaling towers without a sweat
Conducting choirs with a cigarette
Now the world has found its way
Charlatans in the shadow play
Left alone with your simian mind
And the thoughts are unkind

Everywhere you go I go
Looking upon tomorrow
Lined up like a domino
Black lashes in the shadow

Everywhere you go I go
Looking upon tomorrow
Lined up like a domino
Black lashes in the shadow
